Dorcan Corporation manufactures and sells T-shirts imprinted with college names and slogans. Last year, the shirts sold for $7.50 each, and the variable cost to manufacture them was $2.25 per unit. The company needed to sell 20,000 shirts to break-even. The after tax net income last year was $5,040. Donnelly's expectations for the coming year include the following: (CMA adapted)

The sales price of the T-shirts will be $9
Variable cost to manufacture will increase by one-third.
Fixed costs will increase by 10%
The income tax rate of 40% will be unchanged.

Based on a $10 selling price per unit,. the number of T-shirts Dorcan Corporation must sell to break-even in the coming year is:

(A) 16,500 units.
(B) 20,000 units.
(C) 22,000.
(D) 17,000 units.

correct option is (A) 16,500 units.

Explanation:

given data

shirts sold = $7.50

variable cost  = $2.25

after tax net income = $5,040

selling price  =$10

solution

we get here first fixed cost that is

Break even sales units = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution per unit   .............1

put here value

20000 =

Fixed costs = $105000  

and

Fixed costs coming year will be

Fixed costs coming year =  ($105000 × 1.10)

Fixed costs coming year = $115500

and

Variable cost =  $2.25 + ($2.25 × )

Variable cost = $3

so that Contribution margin  will be

Contribution margin = Sales price - Variable cost ............2

Contribution margin = $10 - $3

Contribution margin = $7

and

break even sales units is

break even sales  =  

break even sales  = 16500 units

so correct option is (A) 16,500 units.

answer: b. false

the staff is a set of five horizontal lines and four spaces which represent a different musical pitch. the lines and the spaces are numbered from bottom to top, the bottom line is the first line and the fifth line is the line on the top. the notes on the top of the staff (fifth line) have a higher pitch than a note at the bottom of the staff.

credit history is used by lenders to determine whether you are a 'risky' person to give their money to.

having a short history provide very little data for the lenders. they wouldn't be able to determine your credit behavior from such a small samples. even if they are perfect.

having long credit history with few blemishes provide larger and more accurate data for the lenders to predict your credit behavior.
